Yeah, so I've been told... Actually I have used that for several years, but not for the old stuff. Two reasons (one of them I had actually forgotten, but rediscovered after a PM): Very hard to stuff 5 1/4" floppy discs into a VM!
And two: It's fun to have. I think I have around 400-500 old 5 1/4" floppys in the archive, and I can find any floppy within a few seconds. And I usually need one of them maybe 2-3 times a year. Easier to have the computer park than to copy all those discs into newer formats. So I keep the old stuff to read them there.
